Forensic Diversion
The Justice Related Diversion Services Program offers an array of supports designed to work
with the Allegheny County Jail, District Courts, Service Coordination Units and
other community providers to assist persons with mental illness and/or
co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorder who encounter the
criminal justice system. Staff provide coverage at the Allegheny County
lock-up/jail intake area, coordinate services for individuals released from the
Allegheny County Jail prior to or at the preliminary hearing, develop and
present service plans to the District Courts (which may include housing,
treatment services and linkage with community case management).
